Anyone here know of a good place that a person could sell unused software keys at?

I seen some sellers use eBay to sell software keys, but you may need to sell it with the install disc since eBay may not let you sell keys on their own.

I have keys but only the software download, discs are becoming obsolete these days.

I agree, disc are becoming obsolete. They are being replaced by USB flash drives and online software store services where you pay to download an installer file, and software key. eBay and other selling websites may not have updated their Terms of Service to allow the sell of virtual files and keys, so a lot of sellers sometimes bundled keys like Windows keys with a broken computer if they don't have the install disc since they are selling the key with a computer which is a physical product.

I think you can still buy a disc of some software like Antivirus at a store. Disc with hardware drivers, and setup software still come bundled with a USB wifi adapters, video card, and other hardware I bought in the last few years. Not every PC user has the internet, so they can't download the hardware driver for their PC hardware if they are not connected to the internet.

Sometimes you need to install the drivers for a network card or wifi adapter before you can get online, so using the disc is necessary to install the drivers unless you use the internet on another computer to download the drivers to a USB flash drive.

only place I know that still sells software discs is best buy and maybe walmart. If anywhere else does sell software discs they are old and beyond use.
